THE GOOD SOLDIER SVEJK AND HIS ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD WAR

PREFACE

        Great times call for great men. There are unknown heroes who are
modest, without the historical glamour of a Napoleon. If one analyses
their character one would find that it eclipsed even the glory of
Alexander the great. Today you can meet in the streets of Prague a
shabbily dressed man who is not aware of his significance in the history
of the great new era. He goes modestly on his way, without bothering
anyone. Nor is he bothered by journalists asking for an interview. If you
asked him his name he would answer you simply and unassumingly: "I am
Svejk..."
        And this quiet, unassuming, shabbily dressed man is indeed that
heroic and valiant good old soldier Svejk. In Austrian times his name was
on the lips (lit: on the mouths) of all the citizens of the Kingdom of
Bohemia, and in the Republic his glory will not fade either.
        I am very fond of the good soldier Svejk and relating his
adventures during the world war I am convinced that this modest, anonymous
hero will win the sympathy of all of you. Unlike that stupid fellow
Herostrates he did not set fire to the temple of the Goddess in Ephesus
simply to get himself into the newspapers and schoolbooks.
        And that is enough.
